Wessex - Weymouth to Waterloo

This documentary features a train journey starting from Weymouth, focusing on the street-running tramway, which is unlikely to see trains again. The journey is captured from a class 73 Electro-Diesel Locomotive, highlighting the unique aspects of the rail line.

As the train progresses, it climbs towards Dorchester South, passing through various intermediate stations such as Poole and Bournemouth, known for their classic causeway approaches. The film captures the essence of traveling through the New Forest and includes stops at Brockenhurst and Southampton.

The documentary culminates with a fast-paced run along the former LSWR quadruple track main line, reaching speeds of up to 100 mph. The journey concludes at Waterloo, making this film a notable record of rail travel in the 1990s.
